TRD Pro front broken coil spring

I have a 2017 Tacoma TRD Pro with less than 25K miles and my right front coil spring broke and I found the broken section on the floor of my garage after returning from a drive all on interstate and highway. It has never been offroad and only driven on paved roads. Does anyone have experience with this issue and what they did about it? Will Toyota cover the repair? I should replace both front coil springs probably as the other one may fail at any time?

 

Did you buy it new? Where do you live?

I don’t care about other peoples broken coils. I would like to see the OP to make a better assessment.

 

I guess Eibach makes the springs on the TRD foxes. Eibach aftermarket springs seem to break for what ever reason. The springs don't seem to hold up as well to the elements as OEM toyota springs, or most likely other OEM springs that have a more robust coating. Eibach springs are probably a softer compound than OEM springs, since they are a performance spring.

Eibach might make Toyota's springs for all I know.


I know the Pro is marketed and sold as an out of the box performance model of the Tacoma. I would not expect the shocks and springs to last as long as what the SR is equipped with. TRD Bilsteins seem to have a greater failure rate over the Hitachis. Never seen a picture of a blown Hitachi shock.

The Pro offers more performance, and requires more maintenance.

 

I bet his looks just like the others.

 

Probably but that’s still an assumption.

 

Toyota won't do anything about it as you are long out of warranty.

 

Replace both with Eibach's. Eibach makes springs for many brands.

Eibach told me they do not offer replacement springs only lift springds.

 

Working with a Toyota dealer to see if Toyota will cover it. Even though my vehicle is out of warranty it should not break a coil spring at less than 25000 miles.

 

Surprise Surprise. Toyota is covering my broken coil spring both part and labor.

 

Now I found that the other front coil spring is broken and waiting for response from Toyota. I will never again buy any Toyota with the Fox suspension. I never took my Tacoma offroad and not even on gravel roads and both front coil springs broke at less than 25k miles. This certainly needs to be a recall situation as I have found other owners who have had the same problem with TRDPro Tacomas and 4runners.

 

i wonder if Hitachi makes springs

 

My 4-runner broke both springs. As you now know, it’s quite common. The spring design and lower perch on the Fox shocks (and the older Bilstein replacements) was changed to a pigtail design and that should alleviate the issue.

 

Well, good to hear you have resolution. I was gonna offer up my pro springs off my 2020 since I changed them out for toytec.

 

We are still waiting for pics.

 

Wait a second..........

Now take your OEM FOX Tacoma Pro front and rear suspension off, replace them with a brand of your choice, and sell the Fox; done.

That's not how a recall works.
